Don’t forget to visit other shows we’ve covered, and holler at us with future requests. So far, we’ve got Friends, The Office, Gilmore Girls, and The Walking Dead.

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU, from one hell of a Star Wars geek. In case you were not aware, the Star Wars films are my favorite favorite favorite movies of all time. Well, the original three, anyways. Luke Skywalker was my first boyfriend – I was probably about 6-7 years old. I had the posters, the sheets, a pillowcase with Luke’s face on it (and Leia on the other side… which I never turned over). You can say my Dad really brought me up well!! 20 years later, I have a car named Leia and still go ga-ga over all things Star Wars. Everyone knows, and it’s awesome.

I heavily celebrate today as Star Wars Day, and that means we have a Star Wars theme for our cruelty-free nails feature!Continue reading →

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I have been trying to use more natural beauty techniques at home – not just cruelty-free products, but really… just as natural as we can get. I wanted to share one of my favorite natural remedies for hair as of lately: apple cider vinegar. I’ve always heard from others bloggers and even healthy sites while browsing that ACV can act as a conditioner while bringing the shine on like the sun. Hey-ohhhh, true dat. I’m obsessed with it. When I get out of the shower, I smell like a fucking salad and I am 100% okay with it.

So, this cruelty-free nail collection series is our new thing. Thus far, we’ve shared Office-inspired nail colors, Gilmore Girls, and of course The Walking Dead. Now that I have completed all 10 seasons of Friends, I thought now is the time to reminisce. Because let’s face it – I miss these people.

By now, you all know that the three of us are big supporters of the #BeCrueltyFree campaign. So… you can imagine how excited we were when we were asked to participate in this year’s #BlogForBunnies for #BeCrueltyFree Week!

#BeCrueltyFree Week is a global awareness raising week where everyone joins in to make some noise about cosmetics cruelty, promote fab cruelty-free brands, and tell people about how they can support the campaign to end cosmetics cruelty in our country or globally. I thought now would be a great time to go over some affordable cruelty-free options. It’s NOT hard to #BuyTheBunny!

What’s in your vegan beauty bag? For me, I carry the essentials: lip balm, lip color, blush, liner, concealer, and mascara. If I wanted to go all crazy-Mary-Poppins-style, I would carry nail color, powder, hand lotion, face wipes… the works!! But I like to keep it simple.

We’ve found 10 under $10 compact & cruelty-free items that will keep you lookin’ goooood at all times.

IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! IT’S FINALLY HERE! The Walking Dead premieres this Sunday, and I cannot begin to express my excitement. It can only be captured as keyboard excitement [fhdjfhsjkdfhks!] To celebrate the second half of s5, I thought it would be fun to do one of our cruelty-free nail polish posts – Walking Dead style! Whether or not you are a fan, these colors are cruelty-free and gorgeous… and fit in quite nicely with some of TWD’s best moments. Let’s take a stroll through some of the key scenes from seasons 1-5, and hey, nail polish!

Last month, we shared our favorite Office-inspired nail colors. I had so much fun doing this, I decided to make it a reoccuring feature! Up next, we have Sara’s all-time favorite show, Gilmore Girls. I recently finished the series and am still mourning the loss of these people in my life. You could say I am creating this to cope and fill the void. Obviously, Sara brainstormed the majority of these. We’re a great team ;)

Okay Gilmore Girls fans, see what we’ve got!

If you live in an area where snow IS TAKING OVER YOUR LIFE, you know what it’s like to suffer from winter skin. Newsflash to all those enjoying the warm weather: It’s fucking freezing over here. And our skin is taking the beating of its life. Fortunately, there are a ton of cruelty-free products that can help with this disaster.

So without further adieu, here are my top 10 favorite winter skin essentials. Or in other words, my favorite LUSH products with a few other products sprinkled in. #SorryNotSorry

I don’t think I’ll ever get over this Essie Office Collection. Before you get too excited… I have looked high and low to see if this was a legit line, but nope. I love that someone took the time to do this – it is SPOT ON. If you don’t know by now, I am an obsessed Office fan. Every day, I get home from work, get comfortable, and play Office reruns while I cook dinner. It is the highlight of my day, and I am not ashamed to say that I’ve seen all episodes at least 10 times each. It’s crazy, but it’s fine. It makes me happy!

Since Essie isn’t cruelty-free, I thought it may be fun to make one for us! Thank God I have a blog, because I would hate to make this and not share it. So, that is my excuse to do this useless, but super fun post. To whoever had this Essie idea, you are a genius. I can only hope to do half a good a job as you have done, my friend.

NOTE: These are not the real names of the polishes – this is just for fun! Also, yes there are 30. I couldn’t stop.

Being cruelty-free doesn’t equal to being stinky! Contrary to what a lot of people assume, buying cruelty-free is easy and does not have to break your bank. We hope that you have been taking a ton from our #BuyTheBunny posts this month, because shopping cruelty-free is so *so* important. We’ve tackled everything from beauty to household cleaning products, so this week, we want to focus on personal hygiene. These are the items that you use daily – we hope! ;)
